That grader tyre I had my goal set to solo flip by the end of April? Yeah, I nailed that sucker at bootcamp yesterday! Like 4 or 5 times. It wasn't pretty by any means and I have a lot of work before it is. My next goal is to flip it with some more finesse and fluidity.
c25k, w3d2 this morning. Oh man I felt it. But I didn't give up. I was begging for that gong to slow back to a walk after each interval and I didn't manage to stay above my goal of 8.4km/h BUT I didn't quit. Any time I noticed I was under that 8.4 I just pushed myself a little harder and got back up to 9Km/h.
I've got mixed emotions about next week's program. Worried about the 5 minute jog after only 90 seconds to catch my breath back but excited to be pushing myself further each week.13 -
Took my first HIIT BootCamp class today. Got myself there. Didn't puke. Didn't quit. Didn't die.
Counting that as a string of NSV's. ;-)21 -
This week is "Stuff Your Face" week at the school I work at! Stressful time of year for the teachers--they have to practically peel the kids off the ceiling this week--so they compensate with lots and lots of treats in the teacher's lounge. It just happens to be right next door to my office (I'm the school nurse). My NSV is that I'm still bringing in my breakfast and lunch this week and NOT going over there to check out what's available!19

Man, that's TOUGH!5 -
Gave my suit to a men's shelter this weekend.
Four months ago I was too big to fit in the suit. Thought I would wait till I lost a few inches and then wear it. Last week I wore it to work (folks thought I had an interview at lunch) and realized that I had missed the window, the suit was way too baggy. I'm hoping that some gentleman out there is able to have a great job interview wearing it.42 -

Amazing and great on keeping it going!!3 -
It's the night before my last Semester 1 exam of final year that I am woefully unprepared for. I couldnt justify the time to cook what i had originally planned and stayed in so late studying I was hangry. Let myself get a pizza meal from dominos with cookies, didn't even finish the pizza and stayed under my maintenance allowance. Not a good diet day but it could've gone a whole lot worse and I'm proud of how I was able to control myself and only get a portion for 1 person (rather than getting a large deal and 'saving half for later' like i used to).16

Today I decided that I'm going to stop trying to be Superman at the gym. A couple of weeks ago, I had finished a one hour Stairmaster workout (burning 700+ calories) one day when one of the older regulars told me plainly "you overdid it." Today I saw him for the first time since then, and told him that I had cut it back to 30 minutes. He told me he had thought they were going to have call the ambulance that day. I'm not really a type A personality, but I am a high achiever, and so it's been a little hard to dial it back, but I know it's the right thing to do. As I was doing my 30 minute stair workout today, somewhere in there I thought to myself, "I don't care about the numbers anymore." I decided that from now on my goal will simply be to work to the best of my ability. That includes my strength training as well. I decided to start where I am (and I'm strong in some areas and weak in others) and build from there - one small step and one workout at a time.34

I'm not sure whether this is an NSV or just weird: After my rowing machine workout today, I was craving a sweet treat. Some cold roasted parsnips (100g
) really hit the spot! 20 -
Lost 4.5 inches since Sept! Glad I was keeping track! Hoping to see a bunch of inches drop between the weights and run training!!16

I started a new job about a month ago, so the people I work with do not know that I used to be heavier than I am now. Anyways, my NSV is that the president of my company picked out a shirt for all the ladies in the office as a Christmas gift, and she picked mine out in a size small. It’s hard for me to even see myself as a size small, but to know that other people observed me as being a small is something I’d never thought possible since I just automatically assume people would think of me as a large. my brain hasn’t quite caught onto the fact that I got smaller.31

I have two jobs and I've worked at the part-time job for @ 5 1/2 years. One of my co-workers got me a black cardigan for Christmas (side note: I was planning on getting one after Christmas, so this was awesome!). Anyway, I pulled it on without looking at the size and it fit great, Later, I took it off and looked at the size. It's a MEDIUM. I know it's probably just vanity sizing but holy cow! that feels amazing.25

We had an unseasonably warm weekend the first weekend of December and was able to get my 3000 miles done for 2017 but was about 95 miles short of the 6000. Since Saturday we have had 50 degree days so was able to get 21 in Saturday and 29 Monday. Only today and tomorrow left before the weather in Des Moines Iowa will be back to more normal temps 20-30's for highs. Might even get below zero before end of the year. So the plan is to try to get about 30 today and the rest tomorrow.
Tuesday was able to get away from work early enough to get on the bike by 2:30. The original plan was to get 30 miles in and the rest Wednesday but then decided to see if I could get all 45 miles done. I do admit to picking an easy route. Rode from home three miles to the bike trail the rode out toward the soccer park and back to downtown and then up toward the Neal Smith trail which goes from Des Moines to Saylorville lake. The bridge at NW 66th street has been under construction for about 2 years and so was glad to see the bike path underpass is finally open and so don't need to use the detour anymore. Did a few extra loops around the picnic areas and stopped by the river to catch a breath and watched the seagulls and Pelicans while I ate my banana. Then went on up to just below the dam and started back. Was just after 5 pm so was getting dark so needed to turn on my headlamp. Was a little daunting riding back through the words but was better once I got closer to town. Did a couple extra loops by the ball park and then on to waterworks park to meet my husband. Just had to do one loop through the park to get to 45 miles and then on to the trailhead. Did a couple of loops through the parking lot to get to an even 46 miles. So long story but met my goal to get to 6000 miles.9 -
Just had a coworker ask me if I lost weight. Felt good as I haven’t told anyone I was trying. Only 15lbs down but it’s a start.17

Awesome! You made "deadlift face".
It's a running joke with my lifting partners and myself. Well done!

We have 2 "big boy" 50lb plates that have a substantially larger circumference than the 25lb plates. I used to squat and deadlift with them but after taking so much time off, my husband is the only one who has been using them. About 2 months ago, I attempted deadlifting with them when my husband had the bar loaded and I barely hit one. Had to be my 1rm. I can now deadlift them for 8 reps so I can use them for my power and hypertrophy days and it's SO much nicer to have the bar higher off the ground. I have been loving it!!12
